I have not tried to build GRASS on a Windows system yet. I just download and install the binaries from the GRASS Web site. Current version is 5.7.0 Go there, go to the binaries download page, and follow the "detailed instructions".

To make porting GRASS to Windows as easy as possible, it runs under "Cygwin". Cygwin is a port of the GNU environment to Windows. Since Linux is basically a GNU environment, this is sort of like running Linux on top of Windows. If I didn't have to use ArcView, I'd ditch Windows and run GRASS directly in Linux.
